Incredibly good artesenal traditional Neopolitanish style pizzas cooked quickly in a hot oven. Service is quick, professional & polite. Ingredients are top notch & attention to details is s as Keats on point. You won't get a soggy undercooked pie here, but you will get some char on the crust & one of Tucson's most authentic pizza's. read more

Small but beautiful restaurant downtown Tucson. We had just gone to the bakery across the street and was starving because we hadn't had lunch. We looked on yelp to find the closest place to eat and Anello was there when we needed them. We had two pizzas which were amazing and the focaccia bread which my husband ordered he loved everything about that and everybody tasted it and agreed the service was unbelievable. We came in with a hot six-year-old, a hot six month old two old people and the two parents of the children. It was very hot that day and we were miserable and they made us feel very comfortable and could see that we were stressed out. They were very accommodating to our semi large grouchy party. Highly recommend this place. We will be back. read more

Absolutely stunning restaurant with even better food. We enjoyed every part of our meal. A real strength of this place is the limited menu; a few items mean clarity and keeps the quality high. Everything was executed so well. I can't pick a favorite part of our three courses! read more

This is not really a pizzeria. Not really upscale either. Very small space. Ended up ordering to go and walking over to Tap and Bottle to eat it. 4/5 for the pizza. Crust too floppy. Very small, like a personal pizza. Very limited menu. No cocktails no bar seating. read more

Emailed for reservation around 4:30. No response. Stopped in around 6:00 pm for dine in. We were told we couldn't get in until 8:30 pm. We mentioned we emailed, but they said the owner was out of town and they apologized for not responding. They suggested we scan a QR code to order take out to be delivered next door at Crooked Tooth. We received a notification that our Verde pizza was ready around d 6:30, which was quick. It was cold. I am not a fan at of cold pizza. Would not dine here again. read more

delightful! what a hidden gem. they have vegan pizza and a delicious vegan appetizer, panissa. never had panissa before and even my non-vegan family members enjoyed it. seasonal menu for their salads and veggies. our salad was fennel, grapefruit, almonds, and got the parmesan on the side. different and delicious without the cheese. the vegan pizza is cheese-less and you don't even miss it. the ambiance is dreamy, moody lighting, staff was friendly, and our server Crockett was a lovely human. 10/10 recommend. read more

I'm not one to write reviews but my friend and I had such an amazing experience here I had to share!! Our server was so incredibly kind and answered all of our questions. All of the guys in the back were working hard and they were all great as well! Overall, the ambiance was amazing. The pizza is to die for!! Very authentic and obviously made with love. I will be returning and bringing more friends! They also gave us a little lemon dessert and it was incredible. Although it seemed to be a slower night for them (late on a Wednesday) it was the best service I've received from a restaurant in a while in my opinion. read more

I recently moved to the tucson area and explored a couple of local pizza restaurants only to find them being well below my standard. I found Anello on yelp and was pleasantly surprised. I loved that it was quaint and personable. The focaccia was full of flavor with the perfect dough baked to perfection. It was very light, crisp and didn't give me the heavy weight sensation. The pizza was of course made from the same dough and again, baked to perfection. The menu was perfect. Simple and not overwhelming. We ordered the margarita and verde pizza. Both did not disappoint. My compliments to the chef who apparently took the time to create the beautiful food. The customer service was excellent. We will definitely return. read more

love it!!! My mom and brother tried Anello for the first time. We can all agree that the focaccia is the best. The desert was really great too. The spicy green beans were delicious. My favorite pizza is the verde it is very unique! They are very friendly too, great place to go while downtown Tucson. read more

We were looking for vegan options in Tucson and Anello fit the bill. They have nice vegan pizza on the menu and an interesting dish called panissa that is chickpeas in a yummy sauce. Comfortable seating and friendly staff. read more

When I moved to Tucson a few months ago, I was concerned about not finding food as good as I used to get in LA. Anello is in one of the more nondescript storefronts I've seen in a long time. I don't know if they are trying to keep the place secret but it would certainly be difficult considering the great pizza offered here. I'm used to buffalo mozzarella on Margherita pies. While they don't do that, it doesn't lessen the pizza. Their crust is very good and flavorful -- the result of using good flour and a very hot oven. The surprise for me was the very sweet sauce. It may have been the sweetest I've ever had but it's a good balance against their mozzarella. They truly know what they're doing and that's comforting. Their Bianca pie was just as flavorful and I just love that I can depend upon a place this as I settle into Tucson (and learn how to pronounce Tucsonan.) While I did takeout, the interior of this space is very nice and I'd be glad to settle in for many slices and many glasses of wine. read more

We absolutely love this restaurant. The focaccia bread is the best in the city, possibly the best that we have ever had. Their pizzas are authentic, woodfired pizzas with legit ingredients. Every time we have gone, we have tasted their seasonal veggies, and every time we nearly lick our plate clean. This time we tried two of their desserts, both were completely gone within minutes. I don't think there is a bad thing on this menu. The venue is small and quaint. There is no signage outside of the door, so you have to know where it is in order to find the restaurant. It makes it even more special to be seated in there. Service is always fast and always comes with a smile. read more

This cute little pizza place was a little hard to find due to the lack of signage and the door being a bit discreet. When we first arrived, we did not expect it to be so small inside. We didn't have a reservation but luckily they had some room at the end of the "community table" which is just one long table that 4-5 parties can sit at depending on availability. The space was very small and since we sitting at the end of the table, there was a tiny space next to us that the servers used to get by which was a bit uncomfortable. Drinks: I don't remember the name of the drink that I got but I would never order it again. I wanted to switch it up and not order wine (big mistake) so I asked the server which one he recommends (another mistake). To be fair, he did his job and talked up the cocktail so it sounded very appetizing. When our drinks came and we smelled them, I gagged. It smelled like a straight bottle of tequila. The server explained that there would be come cardamom and a hint of a syrup but let me tell you, this was just 3 shots of tequila on ice. I took one sip and could not finish it. No disrespect to the bartender but there was no mixture or hint of anything in there aside from tequila. It's safe to say that I would not order another mixed drink from here if I went back. Pizza: The menu is also very limited so make sure to look beforehand to see if there's anything that sparks your interest. We were hungry so weren't looking at the 3 starters that they have on their menu. We ordered the Bianca and Verde pizzas and were not disappointed! They were both thin crust and delicious. We had 2 pieces left which we didn't want to waste so the server offered for us to take it home but then handed me one piece of aluminium and I was stunned. I guess this is the "minimalist" approach now? Overall, I'm not so sure that I would go back for a seated experience. Maybe I would order to-go instead so that I could enjoy the pizza in the comfort of my own home with proper storage containers for leftovers. read more

Since we are vegetarians, and we live in Green Valley, we try to come to Tucson as often as we can. Annello is our favorite place for pizza, and we love their innovating salads and vegetables. The food is excellent, and service is great. Hope they stay the way are right now. We are leaving AZ soon but we will definitely be back at Anello's in November. read more

Best pizza I have ever had in my life. Without question. This includes New York. Can't overstate how great it is.

Intimate settings and artisan pizzas are my favorite and combined just makes a dynamic duo. I've heard this aesthetic restaurant gets packed quick and was delighted to find we were the only customers upon arrival shortly after they opened on a Thursday. The menu is simple and short, but has everything you could want for an artisan pizzeria. We got the Bianca and Verde pizza and both were amazing. Love the crunch provided by the pistachios in the Verde pizza. Given how busy this tiny place can get, there is a convenient order/pickup window to the side of the building. Looking forward to coming back! read more

Although I haven't been to Anello for awhile, I'm so glad to see that it is still open! My family and I loved eating there; the pizzas were amazing and the salads were creative, locally sourced using in season ingredients. I'm ready to take guests there again! Note: it does get crowded. read more

WOW, this pizza is fire! My hubby suggested we walk here from Pueblo Vida because of the high reviews. The walk was a bit sketch on a Friday night (under a bridge, through a construction zone, cue the Walking Dead), but I would totally do it again for this pizza! The walk up order window is pretty cool. We ordered, paid, grabbed some beers over at Crooked Tooth while we waited, and they delivered it over to us in no time. The Verde pie was so fresh, loved the pistachio crunch, and that CHAR! Omg. My hubby also ordered the Focaccia and wowwwww. The pepper jelly stuff on top was a great surprise. read more

Anello - Verde Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Anello's cozy, with pizzas so fresh, The Verde's parsley puree is simply the best. Seasonal menu, a Seattle-like place, Tucson's new gem in a snug little space! read more

The crust was crusting. This place is small, very, very small. I knew where I was going (kinda) and almost missed it. Which makes it part of its gem, and rewardingly good. The Verde pizza hits differently with w/ its pistachio bits on top of a yeasty charred-to-perfection crust. Anello isn't your quick weeknight binge pizza. It's a moment/ celebration/special occasion pizza, that deserves your full attention. This pizza was brought mind not by adverts but by an ex-Tucsonan turned Bostonian (who should know his pizza by now). Es una chulada de peeksa. read more

Anello - Verde - Pizza Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

The best pizzas I've ever had! I recommend making a reservation as the restaurant is very small. You have to email to make reservations! My friend and I split the seasonal veggies, two pizzas, and the chocolate tart. The veggies were soooo good! I love the vinegar and sour taste of it. The pizzas were also delicious! We added sausage to the Verde pizza and pepperoni to the Margherita pizza. I am never going back to any other pizza! The chocolate tart is also heavenly. It was so rich and creamy. I've had a dream about it, that's how delicious it is! It is on the pricer side. The pizza is a size of a personal pizza and it's about $16. For the quality you're getting, it's worth it! read more

Small little pizza gem in downtown Tucson. You'll find a few tables and a community table in the center of the restaurant with a direct view to the oven and kitchen prep. Very pizza aromatic and simple clean menu. Service was super friendly and excellent. We had about a 20 minute wait but they text you when your table is ready. You can wait at the next door brewery until your table is ready. Parking is along the side alleyway. We tried the margarita and marinara pizza with pepperoni. They also offer a small sampling of wines and beers from local/regional wineries and breweries. read more

Anello - Pizza Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Best pizza I've had; and I've had great pizza. From Phoenix to Manhattan to Boulder, this is the best crust. I think there are 3 reasons: 1) sourdough starter, 2) mix of flour, and 3) wood fired. The dedication of the staff sets Anello apart as well. Everybody working here cares...deeply. Bathrooms are nice too. That matters! BTW - check out the bathroom books - it's no wonder they're such a solid restaurant. Last thing - the cocktail program is small but fire. The White Negroni is outstanding. read more

Pizza at Anello is always tasty. Their salads and vegetables are always different each time we go. Last night the carrots were amazing.

This place was actually recommended to us and it did not disappoint! Ambiance - Few seating available, but it was a very intimate and romantic setting. There was only one server and one cook, but it was cool to see them actually make everything and put the pizza in the pizza oven. Parking was a pain though which is the only downside. You can hangout at the brewery next door if you're waiting for a seat. Service - Efficient and helpful! Never too overbearing and their attention to water was great, because we were very dehydrated and going through water super fast. Food - Limited menu, but sometimes those are the best bc you know everything on the menu is going to be good. § Special pizza of the day was with white sauce, sweet red bell peppers, and fennel on top. It was a very interesting combination of flavors that was well rounded and brought together with a bit of lime juice on top. § Margherita Pizza was fantastic. The marina sauce was delicious and the crust was nice and crispy. Overall, I love Neapolitan pizza and the ambiance was perfect for an intimate date night. Parking is annoying, but otherwise I loved this place. read more

Truly some of the best pizza I've had anywhere. Whenever I'm in Tucson, I make a point to dine at Anello at least once. The restaurant has no sign, but look for the cool wooden door. Inside, you'll be greeted by a sleek, minimalist interior and delicious aromas. I highly recommend the Bianca pizza, which has great flavor. They've also got a quality selection of wine and craft beer. Don't miss Anello when you're in Tucson! read more

Anello - Bianca Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

We gave it a second shot, not worth the hype. The pizza is good, but their seating is limited and the reservations are a joke, I've sent an email a few times and never got a response. I've been to a few businesses like this, which only bother to sell as much as they choose and don't really consider their customers. I'll pass and opt for a more consistent and customer focused location. I felt uncomfortable as I was waiting to eat and observed several patrons approach the front booth just to be sent away ( all stating they tried to contact the restaurant with no avail) the snarky host even mentioned that the owner was busy spending time with their kids on the weekend and could not check emails ‍. Smh, pizza is pizza, it is good, but it's not next world pizza and given the limitations definitely not worth it. I don't like batching businesses but it's honestly the vibe I got and it wasn't good. Very disappointing. read more

*Drum Roll* I have found my new favorite local pizza place. I cannot brag enough about how delicious their pizza is! If you decided to have a sip at Crooked Tooth Brewery they will walk over your pizza! Pizza & beer is pretty awesome! I haven't been able to dine inside Anello so I pick up and take home! The inside of their restaurant looks very minimalistic and neat. I can't wait for the day that I can dine in! Something very unique is that you have to order online or show up in person because they don't not take phone orders. I love the concept because it makes you go there for this delicious pizza! read more

Anello - I added pepperoni to one of their pizzas on their menu! - Pizza Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Anello is our favorite restaurant in Tucson! Everything on the menu is the best thing we've ever had. We typically order 1 of everything when we go (Focaccia, salad, veggies, 1 pizza and dessert) and it's the perfect amount of food for 2 people. I highly recommend making a reservation before you go, as the place is very small. The prices are excellent for the quality of the food and what you get! Our favorite thing on the menu is the Focaccia.. you have to get it!! They have a rotating menu weekly, but you can't go wrong with what you order. read more

The menu is constantly changing so I recommend going with a fellow foodie... you'll want to order as much as you can! This family owned establishment is one of a kind and a MUST if you are in the area! All of the ingredients are fresh, and the flavor profiles are always rich and intricate. The hours and seating is very limited so I would plan on getting there as early as possible or emailing them for a reservation. Hello@anello.space read more

#ThankYouThursday Thankful for the easily accessible comfort carbohydrates your sourdough loaves have offered me during this pandemic. My other half works downtown, so I've been know to "accidentally" order a loaf or two through the easy online ordering system and make him pick them up on his way home. He's never mad about it. I'm not sure how to describe it, but the food from Anello just feels thoughtful. The time and care that goes into each menu item is not lost on me. The pizza, seasonal vegetables, and desserts are beautiful as well as delicious. read more

The pizzas are burnt. Not crispy; BURNT I hope it to not be a new 'pizza trend' It was useless to complain since it's no longer about customers service anywhere you go these days.

Teeny, tiny in terms of size but huge in terms of flavor! According to legend, this was the point man for Chris Bianco when he opened in Tucson and ultimately decided to close. We went on a busy Saturday night and it was packed but we had a reservation and got right in after a brief wait. Ordered a Roasted Beet Salad and it was perfect. Then onto the Focaccia with a light fig jam and light and airy dough with the perfect amount of crisp: scrumptious! Next came the pizzas and we had a Margarita and a Bianca and they were both spot on with thin, crunchy crust, perfect seasoned and absolutely delicious. Limited wine and beer menu but overall worth the trip and the wait. read more

My Fiancé and I were visiting Tucson for the Gem Show and he found this place with his amazing Pizza sense. The crust of their pizza not only has fantastic texture but great flavor as well. My pizza snob said it was better than the ones he tried in Naples. We tried the verde and the margarita, love the tangyness of the tomato sauce not overly sweet. Definitely get their seasonal vegetables, it was turnip when we went and they turned an ordinarily sad vegetable (root and greens) into a delicious savory starter. To finish we did the blue corn lemon tart, also a fantastic hit. I can't wait for the gem show next year so I can come back here read more
